New England High School Hockey Rankings

The accuracy of the ratings between states is open to some debate as it is dependent on the number of interstate
scores that link the state rankings together.
Teams listed W-L-T record reflects only games whose score
has been reported and is listed on the site.
The program starts all teams with an equal arbitrary value and then
adjusts them all recursively based on game scores until the lowest cumulative
error between expected goal differentials and actual goal differentials is
reached (convergence).
The Total column is in goal units and the difference in this value between
any two teams is the predicted goal differential for a game played at a
neutral site between those two teams. It should be noted that due to goal
differential limits set in the ranking program these predicted goal differentials
are only accurate when comparing teams ranked within three goals of each other.
The differential between teams ranked farther apart becomes more and more
understated as the chosen teams become farther apart in the rankings.
A teams Total value only has meaning
in relation to other teams in the same list .
The Last 5 column is a simple average performance of that team in the last five
games based on current opponent Total values and goal differential (up to max allowed).
Obviously, the fewer games a team's ranking is based upon the less likely
that ranking is to be accurate.
It should be noted that games between teams ranked more than 5 goals apart are not used in creating
the MN, WI, ND, and MN-WI-ND rankings. As a result the GmPerf and Sched columns do not include these
games either.
* indicates teams with only two game scores used to calculate rating.
